“Performance has also been enhanced with improvements to frequently called routines and algorithms as well as in the low-level infrastructure of memory management, according to Maplesoft. By way of an example, the company cites a new memory manager that takes advantage of multiple processors. This, says Maplesoft, allows computations to run 10% faster on average, with memory-intensive computations running up to 50% faster.”

“The Möbius Project makes it easy to create rich, interactive mathematical applications, share them with everyone, and grade them to assess understanding. Using Maple, the flagship mathematical software product from Maplesoft, instructors can easily create interactive mathematical applications that help their colleagues and students solve problems, visualize solutions, and explore concepts.”

“These applications are then shared with everyone through The Möbius Project, where they can be freely accessed for use in the classroom and for independent learning. These applications are also gradeable by Maple T.A., the testing and assessment system from Maplesoft, giving instructors a whole new way to measure and deepen students’ understanding.”

“Maple 17 offers numerous advancements in a variety of branches of technical computation that push the frontiers of knowledge and Maple’s capabilities. New functionality includes ground-breaking achievements in solving a whole new class of differential equations, major advancements in solving systems of equations, new signal processing tools, expanded support for physics, statistics, dynamic systems and more.”

“Performance has also been enhanced with improvements to frequently called routines and algorithms as well as in the low-level infrastructure of memory management. One example is a new memory manager, which takes advantages of multiple processors to allow computations to run 10 per cent faster on average, with memory-intensive computations running up to 50 per cent faster. With these new abilities, customers can solve more problems, faster with Maple 17.”

“With Maple 17, Maplesoft has introduced more computation tools and a large collection of enhancements dedicated to supporting the creation of applications. New functionality includes ground-breaking achievements in solving a whole new class of differential equations, major advancements in solving systems of equations, new signal processing tools, expanded support for physics, statistics, and dynamic systems.”

“New functionality includes advancements in solving a whole new class of differential equations, advancements in solving systems of equations, an extensive new package for working with algebraic groups, new signal processing tools, expanded support for differential geometry, new tools for physics, and more.”

“Seeking new, more efficient methods for modeling physical systems, Maplesoft and the University of Waterloo are researching—with support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and Toyota—ways to develop the theory and computer algorithms necessary to automatically create engineering models in a mathematical form. As a result of this research, engineers are now able to build more complex, nonlinear, and high-fidelity models that provide more insight into the actual physics, while also accelerating system-level modeling of new products.”

“What makes this approach (using MapleSim) different from others is that students can ask the software for underlying equations and interact with them in different scenarios. With MapleSim, students can easily connect the analytic models in textbooks to the numeric solutions that result from the simulation. This openness is critical to student learning. In addition, the software’s system-level approach to multi-domain systems lets students extend an EE problem to what they learn in their ME or instrumentation class. This expands the scope for students and encourages them to think beyond the limited span of a particular problem.”

“The design engineers at Engineered Arts are currently using MapleSim to design a biologically analogous humanoid robot leg integrating a novel actuator, studying its static and dynamic stability, and building the designed leg to determine strategies for its control. The design is analogous to the human musculoskeletal system. Unlike conventional robots actuated by electric motors, it is characterized by high non-linearity and by humanlike compliance.”

“An open standard language for developing high-fidelity models of engineering systems, Modelica was established in Europe by a consortium of academic and commercial partners. The North America Modelica Users’ Group has been set up to address issues that are often prevalent, and sometimes unique, within North American industry and academia.”

“The MapleSim connector for B&R Automation Studio is the result of a partnership between Maplesoft and B&R Automation formed to bring together products from both companies to save engineers time and effort for hardware-in-the-loop simulations and controller development.”
